A young couple travelling on a budget, hoping to inspire others to travel more and experience all the world has to offer.
Hi, we are Brandon and Ellie, the founders of Ricefield Rucksack. Our aim is to inspire people to step into the unknown and have wonderful travel experiences, safely and affordably.
We met in 2022 whilst both living in Japan, and we have been travelling together ever since. We do all the research ourselves, spending dozens of hours making sure we get the most out of each and every trip. We want to share this extensive research with all of you, so you can enjoy your travels just as much as we have.
We’ve made more mistakes when travelling that we can remember. But the ones we can remember, we don’t want you to fall into the same travelling traps. We’ll be the pin cushion so you don’t have to worry about what could go wrong.
We’ve always travelled on a budget, sometimes more tight than others. Trying to squeeze the most out of every penny is important to a lot of people, so we’d like to share our in-depth experience with low-cost travel.
We spend hours every week doing research on destinations, and more so when we’ve got an upcoming trip. All of our itineraries are tried and tested: we did them, we loved them, and we want you to love them too. All the work is done for you!
